Sorry to hear about your dad. Mike and I went to the same highschool. But I really knew of him him more through my son, Eric's friendship with Ken. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

What a great friend and loyal buddy through the years. My mind goes back to the many good times we had as kids growing up with the old cars and going to Martin Dragway and the long evenings and days just messing around. What great memories. He will be sadly missed.
